I spoke with him again tonight on the phone, and I looked at a 98 boot disk
that i had here and he was missing 5-6 files on the various disks that he
had made from a Win98 machine. . What neither of us understand is how a
working PIII 800 machine with 98 could horribly screw up the boot disk. I
suggested that he run SFC and see if that makes any repairs. However I don't
believe that would make a difference in the boot disk. I sent the contents
of the boot disk via email. He was unable to get all the files I sent, must
be an AOHELL thing, so I had him get a boot disk download from
www.bootdisk.com and away it went. If there remains a question it would be
why a boot disk from a working Win98 machine would be not good?
